“It sometimes is as simple as reminding myself that my body is a good body, that all bodies are good bodies.”
Welcome.
I am a weight-inclusive registered dietitian offering 1:1 virtual nutrition therapy and coaching to clients all over the world.
I specialize in:
helping individuals learn how to eat in a way that allows them to fully thrive: mind, body, and soul.
guiding clients as they heal from years of body shame, food restriction, and feeling disconnected from themselves.
offering inclusive, evidenced-based care for those struggling with eating disorders or disordered eating.
I believe that:
-
DIETING AND RESTRICTION ARE THE PROBLEM
They keep us stuck in shame, anxiety, and food obsessions. They rob us of our freedom and ability to be present to our lives. They can also lead to disordered eating, eating disorders, and an unhealthy relationship with food and body.
-
YOUR BODY IS WORTHY, NO MATTER WHAT
Your body has inherent and absolute value. You are deserving of love, respect, care, and equal treatment, no matter what size, gender, physical ability, sexual orientation, race, or ethnicity you are.
-
YOU ARE THE EXPERT OF YOU
I am simply here to provide guidance, support, and a safe space for you to question what you’ve been told about food and your body, in order to live the life you want. You make all decisions in regards to your body.

THE PROBLEM IS NOT YOUR BODY
Many people believe their bodies are the problem. If only they could “eat right”, “lose the weight”, or have a little more “self control”. This is a lie. The problem is not your body. The problem is our culture’s obsession with thinness and the stigma it holds against people in larger bodies.
I was not taught what I now believe in my formal training. The dietetics profession is still very much steeped in the weight-centric model, which has been proven time and time again that not only does it not work, but it also causes harm. Read more about my story here.
